By room size

Three room sizes cover most ThinkSmart installs

Lenovo partner drawings start from room size. The kit follows the table, not the other way around.

Where to start

Two reasons people specify ThinkSmart

Every room should start the same way

IT wants one-touch join on Teams or Zoom from huddle to boardroom, with the same 10.1 inch controller language and one cloud to watch firmware. ThinkSmart is built for that estate, not for a one-off consumer bar.

Match the kit to the room

The room also has to take a guest laptop

Directors still walk in with Webex or Meet on a notebook. Core Gen 2 ingest and One Pro BYOM cover that without teaching a second workflow, then flip back to the native room.

Straight answer

How do I choose Lenovo ThinkSmart for a meeting room in Malaysia?

Start with seat count, table shape and whether people sit around the table or face a display wall. Then pick the platform: Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms. Then choose a tabletop Hub, a wall bar such as One Pro or Bar 180, or a Core compute kit if the camera and microphones must be specified separately.

Do not start with a SKU. Tiny Kit, Hub Gen 2, One Pro and Core Gen 2 all work in the right room and waste money in the wrong one. Pickup range and how visitors join decide the quote more than the badge on the box.

How to decide

Four checks before you pick a kit

These four answers decide more of the quote than the product photo.

Who sits where

Count seated talkers and standing presenters. A room of eight still wants a bar or a second mic if people brief from the display wall.

Native platform

Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms are separate ThinkSmart SKUs. The room licence and the hardware variant must match before anyone orders the kit.

Guest laptops

If visitors must join Webex or Meet from a notebook, plan BYOD or BYOM now. Adding it after the wall is closed is a second visit.

How many rooms

One room can live on ThinkSmart Manager Basic. Ten rooms need one panel language, one naming plan and a Premium conversation about analytics.

What the spec must solve

The six decisions that make or break the room

Each one is a real trade-off. Paying for the wrong one is how projects overspend without working better.

Tabletop pickup versus a wall bar

Hub Gen 2 puts four speakers and four microphones in the centre of the table. One Pro and Bar 180 move camera and mics to the display wall. Pick the Hub when people stay seated around the wood. Pick a bar when the table must stay clear or presenters stand at the screen.

Complete kit versus Core plus existing AV

Full Room Kit and One Pro ship camera and audio in the box. Tiny Kit and Core plus Controller assume the room already has, or will get, a separate camera and speakerphone. Pay for a complete kit only if the current AV cannot cover the last chairs.

Native room versus BYOD

Native ThinkSmart kits run one platform. Core Gen 2 adds HDMI and USB ingest so a laptop can take the room, then give it back. One Pro publishes a USB-A BYOM cable path. Pay for that path only if guests actually use it.

One display versus two

Core Gen 2 and One Pro publish dual HDMI outputs. Front Row and gallery-plus-content layouts need that second panel. A single large screen is cheaper and cleaner in a narrow room. Dual displays are a furniture and wall decision first.

Manager Basic versus Premium

Basic covers status, updates and configuration. Premium adds bulk restarts, historical room analytics, mobile push alerts and Intel vPro remote management. Selected kits include Premium for year one. One room can start Basic. A floor of rooms usually cannot.

USB controller versus IP controller

ThinkSmart Controller uses USB-C from the compute. Lenovo IP Controller adds PoE and HDMI at the table so the cable plant stays short. Specify IP when the table is far from the display wall. Skip it when a 10 metre USB-C run is enough.

Compare approaches

Generic video bar, Hub tabletop, One Pro or Core compute

Each option wins in a real room. The table is here so you can stop buying the wrong category.

Budgeting

What actually drives a ThinkSmart room quote

There is no honest single price for a ThinkSmart kit that survives contact with a real wall. These six lines are what Kasturi prices after a survey.

Kit family and platform

Tiny Kit, Hub Gen 2, One Pro, Bar 180 and Core Gen 2 are different bills of materials. Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms are different SKUs and different room licences.

BYOD and controller type

USB ingest, HDMI ingest or an IP Controller each add a hardware line. Only specify them if visitors actually use them or the table is far from the wall.

Displays and wall works

ThinkVision E55 versus E65, a generic 4K panel, and single versus dual screens all change labour. The USB-C dock is only a saving if guests actually plug in.

Network and compute

A managed drop at the display, a drop at the table, and a clean VLAN for the room PC are part of the room. Retrofitting an office access switch is a common extra.

Manager and room licences

Microsoft and Zoom room licences sit outside the hardware. ThinkSmart Manager Premium renews after any included first year. Both belong in year-one cost.

Commissioning and training

Pairing, one-touch join, camera framing and operator handover belong in the first quote. Leaving them out makes a hardware-only bid look cheaper than the room you will run.

Every project is individually designed after a free site survey, so the quote fits the room rather than the other way around.

How we deliver

From first call to a working room

Site survey

We measure seats, table length, display wall, network drops and the meeting platform. Bring a furniture plan if the table is not yet in the room.

System design

Kit family, camera, audio, BYOD, controller type and ThinkSmart Manager tier go on one drawing. You see the join path before anyone orders hardware.

Install and commission

Mounts, pairing, one-touch join, camera framing and a live Teams or Zoom call from every seat. If a guest laptop must take the room, we test that on the same visit.

Handover and support

Operator training, Manager access, warranty terms and a local engineer path. Kasturi supports installs across Peninsular and East Malaysia.
